Some Information on This Encyclopedia
This encyclopedia was created from all Lucasflim-licensed sources
of Star Wars information. It was created without regard for what is
"canon" what is not "canon" in the Star Wars universe. I did,
however, place information from the Marvel Comics series in the
Arcana section, since much of it is wildly outside the standard
Star Wars dogma.
It was first made available to friends in 1994, after about 2 ½
years of work. I had been compiling information in a few text
files, since I hadn't read any of the West End Games material when
Heir to the Empire came out. Thus, I was completely at a loss
as to what a Lancer -class frigate was. As it grew, I realized
that this was bigger than the text files I had started with, so I
tried out WordPerfect. Once I got everything converted over, and
started really getting it presentable, I printed out the First
Edition.
I kept working on it, especially when I learned about the scope of
the West End Games material and the width of Bantam Spectra's deal
to produce new novels. My free time, as I knew it, would be forever
changed!
When I got the HTML plug-in for WordPerfect, I knew it was time to
"go public." That first HTML converter took about 14 hours to
complete the entire encyclopedia (which was about 2 Megabytes in
size as a WP60 file), and my AOL account could only handle about 15
letters of the alphabet. I am indebted to those readers who started
visiting my website back then, and who clamored for more
information. After trying a couple other converters in an effort to
get that 14-hour time down, I gave up on WordPerfect and migrated
to Word 97. (This was a tough choice, since I am not Bill Gates'
biggest fan by any stretch of the imagination!) The HTML code
converted in about 10 minutes, from a set of files which was now
about 5 Megabytes in total. All this meant that I had more time to
figure out how to make the encyclopedia presentable.
I moved my ISP from AOL to Mindspring, and was able to get the full
encyclopedia uploaded. However, I was limited to 450 Megabytes of
transfer per month, which at first was OK. But, as the prequels
started getting headlines, I would hit that mark every once in a
while. When the prequels were about a year away, I would hit it
every month. It was at this time that MosEisley.com offered to host
my encyclopedia. I hesitated, not sure if I should move. However,
as the prequels approached and I starting hitting my limit by the
15 th of each month, I was getting as frustrated as my readers. So,
I agreed to their offer and moved to their server. Thanks, Matt and
Stan!
Of course, things always look greener across the fence, and I began
to get a lot of notes from readers asking me to send them the files
via e-mail. While the server was handling the HTML code pretty
well, downloads were only completing about half the time. This was
getting to be a hassle, as was the week where the site was down for
an unknown reason. Also, space started to become an issue,
prohibiting me from putting up lots of pictures and graphics. Thus,
I took a sabbatical from MosEisley.com and started hunting for a
new home. Amazingly, I found one almost immediately at
TheForce.Net. They agreed to give me a ton of space and all the
help I needed. While I had this before, I was now part of one of
the largest Star Wars sites on the Internet. TheForce.Net had
already recognized my encyclopedia as a cool site, and now it was
on its way to become the Star Wars encyclopedia on the
Internet.
This is the first edition with TheForce.Net, and I hope it reaches
new and existing readers with more ease than ever. Thanks to
readers like you, I've been transferring well over 4 Gigabytes of
data each month! I'm also indebted to the readers who have written
back, pointing out problems and offering suggestions, in an effort
to make this the most complete and comprehensive encyclopedia
available! I rally do enjoy reading your correspondences and
answering your questions. Keep 'em coming!
It is impossible to create a document like this from such a huge
body of knowledge without finding some inconsistencies and errors.
Every author who has written in the Star Wars universe has
commented on it and dealt with it. Lucasfilm has final say on the
material I drew from, and it makes no claim that the material is
100 percent compatible with George Lucas' vision of the Star Wars
universe. So, if there are errors or inconsistencies, I have tried
to note them as appropriate.
It is important to note that this massive work could not have been
completed (like it will ever be complete!) without help from a
number of sources. They are all noted in the Acknowledgements
section. I just hope i didn't leave anyone out!

Notes on Encyclopedia Entries
All entries are listed alphabetically, with the assumption that
numerals come after letters. There are many cross-references to
other listings, and they should all refer to a full description
somewhere in the encyclopedia.
The names of human characters are listed alphabetically by last
name. Being a human from Earth, I used the standard American
phonebook listing for all Star Wars humans. Thus, if you want to
look up Han Solo, you need to search in the S section under Solo,
Han . If a human only goes by a single name (eg., Roa ),
then you simply look up that single name.
Non-human names, however, are listed alphabetically by the initial
part of their name. This is because I chose not to impose
Earth-bound human standards on Star Wars alien races. Thus, if you
are trying to locate Momaw Nadon, you need to look under Momaw
Nadon . As with single-named humans, aliens who one have one
word to their names are listed by that name (eg., Garindan).
If a character's race is unknown, their name is listed as it
appears in the source.
Entries from any source not licensed or authorized by LucasFilm are
preceeded by an asterisk (*). There's at least one of them!
May the Force be with you...

A Call to Reason the title of a pamphlet created by Mon
Mothma and the early leaders of the Alliance to Restore the
Republic, it contained a great deal of information on the
atrocities being performed by the newly-named Emperor Palpatine. It
was distributed on those worlds the Alliance felt needed a nudge to
push them into alignment with the Alliance. (XW)
A New Hope title of Episode 4 of Star Wars . This
is the official Episode title for the film Star Wars , which
originally did not have an Episode name or number. This was added
for the 1978 re-release, after work had been started on Star Wars:
The Empire Strikes Back . Star Wars won the following
Academy Awards: • Best Art Direction (Norman Reynolds, Lesley
Dilley) • Best Set Decoration (Roger Christian) • Best Costume
Design (John Mollo) • Best Sound (Derek Ball, Ben Burtt, Sam Shaw)
• Best Film Editing (Paul Hirsch, Marcia Lucas, Richard Chew) •
Best Visual Effects (John Dykstra) • Best Original Score (John
Williams) • Special Achievement Award for Sound Effects Creation
(Ben Burtt)
Star Wars was also nominated for the following awards: • Best
Picture • Best Supporting Actor (Alec Guinness) • Best Director
(George Lucas) • Best Screenplay (George Lucas) (SW)
A New Order this Imperial holovid starred Alexis
Cov-Prim. (LAA)
A Vrassa this pleasure-causing drug is standard in most medical
kits. (CFG)
A-A2 this is an outdated Trast repulsor truck. (IA)
A-A5 designation of Trast's speeder truck, the A-A5 are basically
unarmed troop transports. The A-A5 can move 25 troops with ease.
(RASB, TLC)
A-A6z this is the designation of a Trast speeder truck developed
after the Battle of Endor. It is designed to be a cargo transport,
with a maximum capacity of three individuals and 25,000 kilograms
of cargo. (TSK)
A-B6 this droid was a defacto member of the Farns, although it
didn't actually belong to any organic member. Female in
personality, A-B6 woudl do anything the other Farns asked of her,
just to remain friends with them. (GG7)
A-class Bulk Freighter this double-hulled transport ship is similar
to the Gallofree Yards Medium transport in design. It uses a pair
of angled hull plates to surround the central cargo section, which
can be modified to fit various configurations. The hull plates
mount on the sides of the A-class freighter, where they mount on
the top and bottom of the Gallofree Yards transport. A pair of main
drives is mounted vertically in the rear of the shell. (HTTE,
HTTEC)
A-OIC this is a misspelling of the droid Doc’s designation (
used in the last issues of SOTE: Evolution ). (SEE)
A-scale Rating this measurement system describes the proximity of a
received starship transponder code to a match within the Bureau of
Ships and Services database. An A-1 match is a perfect match; the
larger the value, the poorer the match. Anything greater than A-3
is usually regarded as falsified. (CFG)
A-Wing the generalized name of the Dodonna/Blissex RZ-1
Starfighter. It is a flat, one-man, wedged-shaped snub fighter
built for the Alliance after the lost of the Hoth base and prior to
the Battle of Endor. The A-Wing was designed, as it's name implies,
by Jan Dodonna and Walex Blissex. Because the Alliance was short on
funds, most A-Wings were custom-built in private shops. The ship
Tycho Celchu flew at the Battle of Endor had its cockpit inlaid
with Fijisi wood. It is 9.6 meters in length, and was designed for
interception and long-range reconnaissance. A unique feature of the
A-wing is the short hydro-servo bearing installed in each wingtip,
allowing the pilot to tilt the laser cannons up to 60 degrees up or
down. Its top sublight speed is 120 MGLT, and can maneuver at 1,300
kilometers per hour in an atmosphere. It has limited navcomp
capabilities, being able to calculate only 2 jumps before requiring
recalibration.
It boasts the following shipboard systems: • MPS Bpr-99 Power Core
and Fusion Reactor • Twin Novaldex J-77 Event Horizon Engines •
Torplex Rq9.Z Advanced Avionics Control • Microaxial LpL-449 NavCom
Unit • Incom GBk-785 Hyperdrive Motivation Unit • Long Range Phased
Tachyon Detection Array Model Number PA-9r • Short Range Primary
Threat Analysis Grid Number PG-7u • Fabritech ANq 3.6 Target
Tracker • 2 Borstel RG-9 Laser Cannons • Dymek HM-6 Concussion
Missile Launchers (up to 6) • Sirplex Z-9 Shield Projector (50 SBD)
• Fabritech ANs-7e Sensor Unit • IN-3444-B Sightline Holographic
Crosshairs • Titanium Alloy Hull (15 RU) (ROTJ, SCRE, SWSB, RASB,
XW, TIE, BW)
A-Wing Slash this New Republic naval battle technique
requires split-second timing among a group of starfighters. The
maneuver usually employs X- Wings which fly directly toward the
defensive line guarding a capital ship. Flying just behind the
X-Wings will be a group of A-Wings, hiding in the X-Wings’ drive
glows. The X-Wings disengage their attack at the last second,
drawing the fire of the defense with them. The A-Wings can then
strafe the undefended ship at will. It is very similar to a
saggery-blossom maneuver. (SOP)
A-Z-Z-3 a Mon Calamari light freighter. (SN)
A-1 Deluxe an old model Mobquet "floater," this landspeeder
was not the fastest, sleekest, or most desirable speeder on the
market. It was, however, extremely reliable and inexpensive. The
body was seven meters in length, but was thin. Pilot and passengers
had to sit one behind the other. An option on the A-1 was Corellian
leather seating. (TM, GG7, CCG2)
A-121 this was an old astrogation plotter, designed and
manufactured by Republic Seinar Systems during the Old Republic.
(PSG)
A-175 this Red Star Shipping Action IV transport was
hijacked by the Far Orbit while running a legitimate cargo for
Cambrielle SolidState, shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Her
Captain, Joh Steen, believed that the Far Orbit was an
Imperial ship, and agreed to turn his cargo over to Dhas Vedij.
(FOP)
A-24 this is Incom's series of Sleuth Scout ships. The A-24 is 14
meters in length, and requires only a pilot. A single passenger can
also be accomodated. It is armed with two laser cannons, and is
protected by a decent set of shields. It has excellent
maneuverability and sublight speed for a ship of its size and
class. (WBC)
A-3D0 a Duwani Mechanicals 3DO droid, this protocol and service
droid was owned by Andur and Nomi Sunrider. (TOJ, TOJC)
A-3PO this gleaming silver protocol droid was owned by Retter
Lewis, and served as a translator and assistant at Callia's.
(CRO)
A-3TO this green-plated protocol droid served as the primary
contact for any mercenary or smuggler visiting The Yard or
Syndicate One. (SWJ8)
a-4 this old Kuat Drive Yards ion cannon was designed for use on
large capital ships. (SOP)
gap left by the loss of so many TIE Fighters during the Galactic
Civil War. However, when the Alliance defeated the Empire at Endor,
many of KDY's factory worlds were the sites of rebellion and
revolt. One such world was the prime manufacturing site of the A-9.
When all was said and done, the A-9 found its way to the New
Republic's arsenal instead of the Imperial fleet. The craft is 7.4
meters in length, and is armed with a pair of heavy turbolaser
cannons. Like the TIE Fighter, the A-9 has no hyperdrive, although
it is capable of speeds approaching 1,300 kph. (DE1, DESB)
A-9x this Kuat Drive Yards thrust engine design was created for use
in the A-9 Viligance Interceptor. They have self-contained power
generators. (EGV)
A'Daasha, Corinna a native of the planet Corellia, Corinna and her
twin sister, Kandria, grew up in a wealthy family and never had to
struggle to attain anything. Corinna, unlike her sister, grew bored
and restless in this existence, and used some of her inheritance to
travel among the stars. However, despite the freedom and adventure
she experienced, Corinna felt somehow unhappy without Kandria. When
Kandria left Corellia to join her, Corinna’s spirits immediately
rose. The pair eventually settled on Adarlon – Kandria’s choice, to
which Corinna, quickly agreed – and they established the Glow Dome
complex. Corinna often tended bar herself, using a portable
holoprojection unit to alter her appearance. She was also
sympathetic to the Alliance, having witnessed the news reports
brought in by the underground unit No-Holds-Barred. Her attachment
to the Alliance provided a sense of security and purpose, something
which was missing in her childhood. (WSV)
A'Daasha, Kandria a native of the planet Corellia, Kandria and her
twin sister, Corinna, grew up in a wealthy family and never had to
struggle to attain anything. Unlike her sister, Kandria thoroughly
enjoyed the life of luxury, but became distraught after Corinna
left Corellia to see the galaxy. She decided that she couldn’t be
without Corinna, and decided to join her in her travels. The pair
eventually settled on Adarlon
– Kandria’s choice, to which Corinna, quickly agreed – and
they established the Glow Dome complex. Shortly after the business
took off, Kandria became withdrawn and moody, and it was later
learned that she had been possessed by the Derriphan known as
Ziakas. (WSV)
A'driannamieq Mountains found on the planet Elom, this wide expanse
of rocky peaks is the native land of the ranphyx. (GG12)
A'jidre Skrigatov this rotund Devaronian male served as the
Provincial Governor of the planet Abregado-Rae during the height of
the Galactic Civil War. Skrigatov was little more than a petty
gangster, so he used his goons to arrange an engagement to Brinaloy
N'Vaari, the last surviving member of her family. Despite his
strong sense of honor, it was later discovered that Skrigatov
arranged for the assassination of the former Provincial Governor,
who was actually Brinaloy's grandfather. In order to gain popular -
and political - support, Skrigatov planned to marry Brinaloy and
tied up the loose ends. However, she used her skills as an actress
and went into hiding, cutting off Skrigatov's only hopes of winning
support. (ND)
A'kazz a Schenor rescued from an Imperial attack on a research
station. He was questioned by Luke Skywalker, who hoped to use his
story to sway the Schenor to the side of the Alliance. (RPG)
A'Sako this continent, located on the planet Mutanda, was connected
to Cel'Con by a thin bridge of land. (PG1)
A’Sharad Hett this being was the son of Sharad Hett, a Jedi Master
who became a recluse and hid on the planet Tatooine during the
period surrounding the Battle of Naboo. When his father was
assassinated by Aurra Sing, the Jedi Knight Ki-Adi-Mundi vowed to
train A’Sharad as his Jedi Padawan. Sharad gave his lightsaber to
A’Sharad, so that he would have a constant remembrance of his
father’s struggle for peace. (SWO, IG1)
A/KT this corporation produced a variety of full-body clothing that
provided the wearer with protection in a number of environments.
The most popular of A/KT's outfits was the Tuff1 combat jumpsuit.
(DTO, ROE)
A1 Tow an Alliance heavy lifter group supplying Admiral
Harkov during his attempt to defect to the Alliance. (TIE)
Aa'kua this Old Corellian term means 'respect' or, more
literally, 'respecting space.' When used by a Socorran, it
translates to 'individual space,' and indicates the right of every
native of Socorro to go about his or her own business without
others prying in. A violation of aa'kua is a crime against the
individual's own person, and was considered worse than murder.
(SWAJ, BSS)
AA-2 this was the model number of Vector Technologies' Keeper
subdermal control system. (WSV)
AA-23 designation of the detention block on the first Death Star
used to imprison Princess Leia. It was located on Level 5.
(SW)
AA-23 this T-4A Lambda -class shuttle was part of
the small group of ships assigned to the Alliance's Storm Unit,
during their attempts to free prisoners from Imperial prison
facilities. (XWA)
AA-589 designation of the X-wing Luke was flying during
Thrawn's reign of terror. (HTTE)
AAA Tow an Alliance heavy lifter group supplying Admiral
Harkov during his attempt to defect to the Alliance. (TIE)
AAA-2 this SyntheTech verbobrain was developed for protocol droids
during the early decades of the New Republic. (HT)
Aach this was a codename used by one of Bail Organa's agents during
the last days of the Imperial Senate. He was used only when
top-level business of the Alliance needed to be conducted. Thus,
his presence always meant something important to the recipient of
his message. Aach was dispatched to Anchoron to tell Garm Bel Iblis
of the discovery of the plans to the first Death Star. Aach's
arrival delayed the beginning of Bel Iblis' speech to the assembled
group at the Treitamma Political Center, and probably saved the
Senator's life. The Center exploded in a ball of flame, part of a
plot to assassinate Bel Iblis. (TFNR)
Aalia Duu-lang this criminal madame operated from a base in Stassia
City. (SWAJ)
Aalto this young Jedi student was one of Bruck Chun’s obnoxious
friends. (RF)
Aama this New Republic Intelligence agent held the rank of Major.
Aama was assigned to Alpha Blue, and served as one of Hiram
Drayson’s senior facilitators. (TT)
Aar this is the homeworld of the Aar’aa race. (TPS)
Aar’aa this race of chameleon-like reptiloids is native to the
planet Aar, and is known for its ability to match its skin color to
its surroundings. Known as skin-changers, the Aar’aa are tall,
well-muscled humanoids with pebbly-scaled skin, clawed hands and
feet, and a thin ridge of skin running down their backs. Their
large faces are dominated by thick eye-ridges which hang down over
small, glowing eyes. (TPS)
Aargau a planet of some importance to the Empire. It is known
throughout the galaxy for its banks, and was the site of a
week-long conference between Baron Tagge and the Corporate Sector
companies. The result of the meeting was the formation of the
Corporate Sector Authority. After the Battle of Endor, Aargau
fortified itself behind planetary shields and perimeter warships.
(CSA, DESB)
Aari one of Gaeri's aides in the Bakuran Senate. (TB)
Aanor ishiia zals this Old Corellian phrase translates
into Basic as, "Love conquers all." (SWJ12)
Aarrba’s Repair and Salvage this starship maintenance facility was
run by Aarrba the Hutt, and was located near the ancient Cinnagar
starport. (GAS)
Aarwynn this huge humbaba was known in Kashoonara legend as the
steed of the deity Hurrungat. The legends say that Aarwynn was “six
Kashoonara high” at the shoulder, which was considerably larger
than modern humbaba. (COG)
AAT Battle Tank this Baktoid Armor Workshop craft was created for
use by the Trade Federation and its droid armies. Measuring 9.75
meters in length, the AAT required four battle droids to operate
it: a commander, a pilot, and two gunners. The ship was well armed,
with a huge laser cannon turret-mounted atop the main section, a
pair of range-finding blaster cannons to support the main laser,
two anti-personnel blasters mounted with the range-finding weapons,
and six projectile launchers. They can reach ground speeds of up to
55 kph and, while not shielded, have incredibly thick armor plating
to protect the tank from attack. (X1)
Aavman Extravagance this small starship manufacturer produced
luxury yachts during the New Order. (CRO)
Ab'Ugartte an alien race from an unknown world, they are not among
the most friendly species in the galaxy. They prefer their
seclusion. (DESB)
Aba a Wookiee doll given to Jacen Solo by Chewbacca. (CS)
Aban an Imperial Navy officer, Aban was a Commander when he was
placed in charge of the construction of the Imperial garrison on
Sedri. He formed an alliance with the renegade priest Karak, hoping
to obtain the power of the Golden Sun for the Empire. The plan
backfired when Karak was captured by Pek and Fala, but Aban
continued to make progress. Later, after surviving the Battle of
Endor and beign promoted to Captain, he was placed in charge of
Grand Admiral Thrawn's Taanab Operation. He served as the commander
of the Bellicose in Thrawn's fleet. (DFR, BGS)
Abano this Aruzan dola tree farmer was Manaroo’s father. He begged
for her life to General Kritkeen, but the Imperial was
unresponsive. He sent Abano away with false promises and a warning
shot from a stormtrooper’s blaster. Dengar later returned with
Manaroo and rescue Abano and his family, and the Alliance hid them
- and the other Aruzans - on an unknown safeworld. (TBH)
Abatrarg this gas giant is the sixth planet in the Atrig System. It
has 18 natural satellites. PG2 also calls this world Abatrang.
(PG2)
Abav Ghart this Gotal was the leader of the Void Demons gang during
the height of the Galactic Civil War. Ghart had been a pirate for
more than fifty years at the time of the Battle of Yavin, and
started the Void Demons more than thirty years before the war. He
always dressed in expensive clothing, and was distinguished by the
Repulse-Hand cybernetic prosthesis. He was considered a fiend of
the worst kind, willing to do anything or betray anyone for a
profit. He is also referred to as Aban Ghart in Planets
of the Galaxy, Volume One. (PG1)
Abbaji a planet covered with rain forests. (SE)
ABC Scrambler this bounty hunter's weapon was an
Aural-Biological-Chemical scrambler. It was based on the design of
an anti-ordnance electromagnetic probe, and emitted a full spectrum
of ultrasonic waves, chemical agents, and biological irritants when
fired. The spread of the scrambler's blast had a wide pattern, and
disoriented its target with massive sensory overloads. This allowed
the hunter to capture the target without having to fight them.
(GG10)
Abdi-Badawzi this notorious Twi'lek gangster operated from an
underground fortress located beneath the Rym Mountains, on the
planet Socorro. He was also one of the trio of owners of Ethra
Brewery. Born to parents who were part of a merchant family on
Ryloth, Abdi was unusual because of his ebony-black skin. He lost
his family when a rival clan assassinated them. Abdi had learned of
the plot shortly beforehand, and tried to warn his father. Hif
father ignored him, and even accused Abdi of being the would-be
assassin. Abdi was sold into slavery shortly before the murder of
his family. The slave ship he was transported on crashed in the
deserts of Socorro, and Abdi was rescued by an Ibhaan'I shaman.
Upon learning of the deaths of his family, Abdi vowed to exact
revenge on their killers. He made friends with the most prominent
members of Socorro's underground, and eventually moved his family
fortune away from Ryloth. This got his exiled form Ryloth, but he
was beyond caring for that world anymore: Socorro was now his home.
His ties to the Society of the Black Bha'lir gained him a measure
of respect, and soon he had established a great deal of influence
in the smuggling business of the planet. He even ignored the Hutts,
knowing that the Black Bha'lir wouldn't tolerate Hutt interference
on Socorro. Eventually, Abdi- Badawzi's criminal empire expanded,
and his capable leadership ensured its continued existence. (SWAJ,
BSS)
When it was learned that Limna Yith was being held on the station,
many interested parties converged on it, including a group
dispatched by Sprax himself to rescue Yith. In the struggle for
possession of the Kerestian, Abek's Station was severely
damaged when the Imperial warship Ion Storm bombarded it with
laserfire. The station was abandoned. (SSR)
Aber this red dwarf star cast very little visible light on the
planet Alpheridies. It was the primary body in the Abron System,
containing the planet Alpheridies. It was located just within The
Veil, on the edge of the Mid Rim. (TOJC) (TOJC)
Abin-Ral-Xufush this Tiss'shar trader found the life of a trader to
be too boring and non-productive, and soon went into business as a
pirate. He seemed to discover his potential in this new role,
quickly establishing the Dark Wing fleet and gaining a reputation
as a ruthless and efficient leader. (PP)
Abinyshi this race of slender reptilians was native to the planet
Inysh. Their limbs are long and supple, and their tails end in a
fork. The Abinyshi developed space travel at about the same time as
humans, although their technology never matched the levels of the
Corellians or Duros. They used starships to colonize several nearby
worlds, but their overall population never blossomed enough for
them to expand further. Their numbers were greatly diminshed after
the Empire discovered the reserves of kalonterium in the planet's
crust. The Empire stripped the planet of its minerals without
regard for the native lifeforms, and the toxic pollution it
produced nearly wiped out the Abinyshi. The Abinyshi were believed
to be extinct, but several individuals came forth as the Alliance
gained support. (AE, SWJ14)
Ablor this was one of the four main continents found on the planet
Veron. (PG1)
Abo an Imperial slang word used to denote any indigenous lifeform
to a planet. (SME)
abo b'Yenntarr this was the Bosph term used to describe
the Force, and translated into Basic as "the power of the unknown
spirits." (SWJ13)
Abonshee this was the proper name of the planet known as
Masterhome. The name Masterhome was given by the planet's native
race, the Anointed People. It was discovered by the Old Republic
some ninety years before the Battle of Yavin. Abonshee was a
temperate, Earth-like world with an abundance of hardy plantlife

Abyssin an alien race native to the planet Byss (not the same Byss
that the reborn Emperor Palpatine used as his power base), these
tall humanoids have long, well-muscled limbs and a single, slitted
eye. The eye of the Abyssin has twin lenses and dual focal planes,
which allows the Abyssin some measure of depth perception. They
have incredible regenerative ability, and actually consume their
own body mass and rebuild cells. An average Abyssin body cell is
replaced every 80 hours. Many of the normal organs found in pairs
in other races are singular in the Abyssin, but can be regenerated
if injured. They are a nomadic race, with no substantial exports.
Thus, the planet has been relatively ignored by traders. The
primary visitors to the planet are slavers who come to export the
Abyssin themselves. When two tribes of Abyssin meet, they will
either enter into a Trade (if water and food are plentiful, gaunts,
weapons, or young are exchanged) or a Blooding (a fight to the
death for water rights). The Abyssin have greenish-tan skin and
long arms that reach to the ground when they walk. Their hands end
in sharp claws. Although Abyssin can live to be over 300 years in
age, their ability to regenerate gradually decreases. Those Abyssin
who can no longer regenerate themselves usually walk into the
desert and dies. Those that refuse to die are ritually stoned by
younger Abyssin. (GG4, SA)
Ac'fren Spur this side-path of the Sisar Run connects to the run at

Accolux Township this Yedagon city was supposedly attacked and

which broke out on Adumar due to Tomer Darpen's treacherous
schemes. In reality, the flatcam reports of the battle were faked,
in an effort to keep the Empire from learning that the Adumari had
sided with the New Republic. The reports were meant to hold off any
Imperial reprisal because of the Adumari choice until a New
Republic fleet could arrive to defend Adumar. (SOA)

Accuser 1) this Star Destroyer served the Empire as a patrol
ship during the period leading up to the Battle of Endor,
monitoring the shipping lanes for criminals and members of the
Alliance. Under Imperial duty, the Accuser was in the Tatooine
System when Boba Fett arrived with the frozen body of Han Solo.
Darth Vader gave the Star Destroyer and the rest of its fleet the
order to stand down and let Fett deliver Solo's body to Jabba the
Hutt. Tycho Celchu was assigned to the Accuser during his
first stint of Imperial duty. He was talking to his family on
Alderaan when the planet was destroyed by the first Death Star. It
was later one of the first Imperial-I class Star Destroyers the New
Republic captured after the Battle of Endor. In a bold and reckless
action, Han Solo and Lieutenant Page literally talked their way
onto the bridge of the ship, and Solo himself – dressing in a
stolen officer’s uniform – relieved the ship’s commander of duty
and took control of the ship. It was later renamed
Emancipator . Note that X-Wing: Isard's Revenge claims
the Accuser is an Imperial-II class ship. (DE1, MTS, WG,

Star Destroyer arrived to drive off the attackers, but they managed
to rescue Ackbar in the attack. From that point on, Ackbar served
the Alliance faithfully, using his knowledge of Imperial doctrine
wherever possible. He was in command at the Battle of Endor,
guiding the space battle over the second Death Star and drawing
fire from the ships that were to destroy space station's central
power core. Following the formation of the New Republic, Ackbar
became one of the Republic's ruling members, until Councilor
Fey'lya used incriminating evidence against him in an effort to
discredit Ackbar. When Fey'lya's plans were revealed, Ackbar was
reinstated as a New Republic dignitary. He was away from Calamari
when the reborn Emperor Palpatine attacked the planet. Later, when
he and Leia were on a diplomatic mission to Vortex, his shuttle was
sabotaged, causing it to crash into, and destroy, the Cathedral of
Winds. This was part of Furgan's plan to bring down the New
Republic from the inside, and severely degraded Ackbar's
self-confidence. He returned to Calamari to help rebuild what was
still unrepaired from the Emperor's attack, and was on the planet
when Admiral Daala chose to attack Calamari. He and Leia were able
to rally the minimal Calamarian defense, stalemating Daala's attack
until help from the New Republic arrived. Ackbar chose to remain on
Calamari until Furgan attempted to finalize his plans by kidnapping
baby Anakin Solo on Anoth. He then left the planet and arrived at
Anoth in time to rescue baby Anakin. This demonstration of the
Empire's desparate attempts to regain control of the galaxy helped
to crystallize Ackbar's resolve, and brought him out of his
self-imposed shell and back into the New Republic's government.He
remained a vital asset to the Republic throughout the Black Fleet
Crisis and the negotiation of peace with the Empire, but when Borsk
Fey'lya was named the New Republic's Chief of State, Ackbar decided
to retire from active duty and return to Calamari. Ackbar was
portrayed in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi by Tim Rose. (ROTJ,
HTTE, DA, COTF, MTS, VOF, VP)
Ackbar Slash this desparate starship maneuver was developed by the
Alliance's Admiral Ackbar. The slash involved sending your warships
directly through the line formed by your opponent's ships at top
speed. If done correctly, and if the Force was with you, this
maneuver resulted in two things. First, any of the opponent's ships
who missed your ships actually shot up their own ships. Second, it
scattered the opponent's ships, breaking their line. (WS)
Ackdool this Mon Calamari was a Commander in the New Republic Navy
some twenty years after the Battle of Endor. He was in command of
the cruiser Mediator , during the time when it was dispatched
to Rhommamool. His appointment to Commander was met with some
discontent by the New Republic's elite, not because he was one of
the few remaining Mon Cal in the Navy, but because they believed he
was given command of the Mediator simply because he was Mon
Calamari. Ackdool was forced to act when Nom Anor launched a series
of warheads against the city of Osa-Prime, an attack he claimed was
initiated by Rhommamoolian officials. (VP)

squadron of TIE Interceptors. When Devist's and the Millennium
Falcon were caught in the tractor beams of the Tyrannic ,
Devist detonated the Action II, with a series of explosions that
allowed his crew to blast away in the Interceptors. The explosion
freed the Falcon from the tractor beam, allowing them all to

Adamant 1) this Victory-class Star Destroyer was sent by
Grand Admiral Thrawn to intercept Mara Jade at Abregado. (DFR) 2) a
New Republic bulk cruiser that was captured by Qorl over Coruscant.
The ship was loaded with armaments and hyperdrive components, which
Brakiss and the leaders of the Shadow Academy needed to help shore
up the new Imperial Navy. It was on its way to Kuat, but was being
inspected by Admiral Ackbar at the time. Qorl's forces disabled the
ship's weapons and communications, but left its shields and engines
operational. The ship was towed to the Shadow Academy, which was
cloaked within Coruscant's system. Note that Jedi Under
Seige claims the Adamant was attacked by the Shadow Academy at
Kashyyyk. The Second Imperium used the hyperdrive cores and
turbolaser batteries from the ship, as well as New Republic shield
codes, to outfit their own ships. The resulting confusion
allowed the Second Imperium to skip inside Republic defenses, until
Ackbar used the shield codes against them and dropped all
their shields. The Imperium’s fleet was then decimated by Republic
cruisers. (LO, JUS)
Adamantine this New Republic escort cruiser supported the
Borealis during Leia Organa-Solo’s mission to meet with Seti
Ashgad. The ship was one of the first to succumb to the Death Seed

Adarian an alien race native to the planet Adari, the Adarians are
humanoids with unusual cranial structures. Their skulls are
elongated and tall, and have a large hole which goes completely
through it. They have no ears or noses, and their mouth is ringed
with sharp, bony ridges instead of lips. The Adarians make up to
the lack of ears with a covering of fine hairs along their skulls
that pick up the vibration of sound waves. A series of glands near
the skin's surface allows them to smell. Their throats can be
distended and filled with air, and the resulting "long call" can be
useful as a communication method or a kind of defensive action. The
Adarians have a rigid caste system which dominates their society,
and the have evolved an advanced technology based on the use of
super-cooled carbon-ice computers. They were able to remain neutral
during the Galactic Civil War by signing a non-agression treaty
with the Empire, providing the Empire with unlimited raw materials
in return for their neutrality. (GG12)
Adarlon this planet, located in the Minos Cluster, functioned as
the Cluster's entertainment destination. By itself, Adarlon is a
rugged, mountainous world originally settled by a group of Old
Republic altruists - many from Alderaan - for its beauty rather
than its resources. They were particularly well-funded, and their
society grew into one of entertainment rather than survival. It was
on Adarlon that the holographic medium was developed as an
entertainment staple, and music from the planet is also highly
sophisticated. Its primary industry was centered around tourism,
and its temperate climate was well-suited to the various resorts
and parks which operated there. Adarlon has a day which lasts 21
standard hours, and a year which lasts 381 local days. (SWAJ,

Adumar this remote world evolved outside the mainstream of galactic
growth, and was first contacted by the New Republic some 8 years
after the Battle of Endor. The planet itself was located on the
inner edge of Wild Space, and was colonized some 10,000 years
before the Battle of Yavin by separatists who had rebelled against
the Old Republic. They had been defeated by the Republic's forces,
and given the option of death or resettlement. The human natives of
the planet, who call themselves the Adumari, have a complex social
structure which was based on personal honor and triumph over one's
enemies. The primary industries of the planet were based on the
production of war materiel, and they were skilled in the
manufacture of proton torpedoes. They lacked a world government
when a New Republic mapping ship accidentally found the planet and
first contacted them, but the Adumari quickly learned that the
Republic was not the only power in the galaxy. The perator of
Cartann, Pekaelic ke Teldan, offered both the remnants of the
Empire and the New Republic the chance to prove themselves and earn
the alliance of Adumar in what basically became a popularity
contest between Wedge Antilles and Turr Phennir. The
perator himself was eventually ousted in favor of his son, who
was more receptive to creating a democratic world government, where
his father had wanted a government controlled by Cartann leaders.
In the end, Adumar welcomed the New Republic and became a member
